Hello everyone my names parker i have had symptoms for 8 months since around valentines day and wanted some opinions of some with neuro lyme. In february it was a normal day at work busting my ass as a mechanic and then i got weak and dizzy like i needed food REALLY BAD. I got lunch yet i still felt dizzy and nauseous and overall like i had the flu. I went home fell asleep and woke up never feeling normal for 1 moment for 8 months. My symptoms are as follows...light headedness constantly, brain fog constantly, slight dizziness constantly, overall feeling slightly drunk and woozy constantly, short term memory loss, basically feeling high or drunk constantly. Just recently i had started to get pressure in my forhead and on the bridge of my nose like a tumor was behind my forhead and growing. At first the pressure came and went 15 times a day till after 4 weeks now its present 9/10 days through the entire day. I have had thorough blood work, a negative lyme blood test, an MRI no contrast and a CT scan. Everything checking out. My parents and doctor feel i am making this up and i just need to "move on" however its hard to live on a daily basis like this and i had to leave my career as an auto mechanic because of the memory loss and dizzyness...does this sound like neuro lyme? I am getting a brain eeg done in a week but after that my doctor has no real plan of action. Someone please help. Thank you... Posts: 12 | From Orange county, california | Registered: Sep 2013

Those are Babesia symptoms. It is another tick-borne infection.
A very bad strain, Babesia duncani, is endemic to CA.
You need treatment ASAP. Your doc won't believe a word of this. Testing through the common labs is hit or miss. They are just not set up to find tick-borne infections. We use specialty labs.
Post in Seeking a Doctor and make an appt for as soon as you can.

Do you have any more info on that particular babesia duncani virus? Yes i just moved to california about 8 months before infection and would periodically go to the woods with friends so perhaps you are correct ;(

I know my "lyme disease" bloodwork was out sourced and i never got a report nor any information from my neurologist on this test result besides "lyme test was normal" how can i obtain these results and is it possible i wasnt tested for that babesia duncani infection?
